Hi there!
I am currently a first year student at UoN and will probably get halls again next year as most people I know have already sorted houses and I don't want to live in a house with people I don't know that well.
I was wondering if anyone could give an insight into the best halls to live in as a second year student. I was thinking to go for self-catered as it gives more of an independence, and as also I will then have flat mates so it has that house feel, and I also worry that the catered on-campus accoms are full of freshers which is kinda weird for a second year to be there to try and make friends with them.
I was also thinking to pick one of the halls on jubilee campus as they seem much nicer, although I have heard there are a lot of international students in those. I would of course want an accom where there is a decent social life and good second year students to make friends with.
Could anyone offer their insight into where might be best?
Also how common is it for second years to live in halls again?
